Increasing the Minimum WageNovember 3, 2006 - 12:00am
The campaign for living wages has gathered momentum with bills sponsored by NDP members in both the federal Parliament and the Ontario legislature to increase the minimum wage to $10/hour. The just-released report on Federal Labour Standards also strongly recommends that the federal minimum wage be reintroduced at a level that would allow full-time workers to live above the poverty line. Read a CBC article,"Bill could raise Ontario minimum wage to $10" and a CUPE report Thirty Years of the Minimum Wage. ( categories: News | Ontario | Workers' Rights )
